Daily Show Takes On Carpocalypse, Uses Silly Made-Up Word

Ray Wert — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 07:45:00 EDT

No, Carmaggedon is not the new Carpocalypse™, but we're certain Jon Stewart just didn't want to incite the wraith of Gawker's top-notch legal defense team of Shyster,Shyster&Darbyshire. Don't worry, it's still funny.

Especially the whole making-fun-of-the-Sebring thing. That's just hysterical. But in all seriousness Jon, watch out, those lawyers at Interplay — they'll mess you up, man.

Oh, and one more thing Jon. The North American Car (and Truck) of the Year? Yeah, it's not an award for vehicles made by automakers from North America. Just sayin'...

Jon Stewart Pleads With Congress To "Give The Automakers The Money"

Ray Wert — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 09:20:00 EST

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart isn't much of a car guy. Regardless, he's on the right track with last night's humorous quasi-opinion piece mocking the not-so-Big Three, but ending in the right place — supporting Congressional loans.

Stewart's argument is based on some of the same argument's we've made on these pages, but also the new one we've starting hearing the past couple of days, that of "a Main Street bailout." Basically, was the bailout of the financial industry more a bailout for "Wall Street" — a bailout supported by everybody and anybody, while the bailout of the automakers is more for America's "Main Street." Whether you agree, at least it's funny.

Plus, we can all feel sorry for a man when his first car was an AMC Gremlin, a car "that existed so Pinto drivers would have something to BLEEP (no shittin' idea what word THAT is) on..."

Corn-Nuts Anyone?

Jon Stewart's upped the ante on "Truck Nuts" tonight, which makes us want to ask you to caption this photo of Jon and the benutted cob o' corn up there.

Jon Stewart Shows Us His Kind Of Hybrid, We Ask Which Comedian Is More Jalopnik

Ray Wert — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:40:00 EDT

Remember that whole Stewart-Colbert-O'Brien thing during the writer strike a month ago? Well, it looks like Jon Stewart's still trying to best the competition for most Jalopnik late night host last night on The Daily Show. Apparently, he eschews those fancy-pants hybrids desired by every other Manhattanite in favor of a half-truck and half-dinosaur hybrid. Yup, that's our kind of a ride. But does Robosaurus beat out Conan's SHO Taurus for most Jalopnik ride? Or what about Letterman's small block-infused Volvo? Where does "The Chin" fall? We'll let you decide below the jump.

Jon Stewart, Jennifer Tilly and the Wienermobile

You know, we sometimes have dreams like this about Jennifer Tilly, too. Thankfully, we don't have dreams like this about Mike Nesmith. – Davey G. Johnson

Once More For The Road: The Daily Show Reminds Us "The Internet...It's Not A Big Truck"

Ray Wert — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:43:26 EDT

The Daily Show is playing it safe, as they don't think the message has been entirely saturated by the public mind. Thus, they felt the need to trot out Resident Expert Sir John Hodgman to remind folks yet again this important message from Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK). This message again can help you to differentiate a "big truck" from the "internet." Although we're sure you already know this, we wanted to make sure you heard it not only from us (on both occassions), but also from a true Resident Expert. Thus, we bring you the talented Sir John. Sir John, take it away.
